Tightturnaround, if my colleagues alledgedly behaved in such a reprehenshible manner I think I would have been as sceptical as you, however, I am assured that the incident did take place.
As I said in the post, the behaviour was not, (in my experience), representitive of the vast majority of folk who work for Eastern.
Perhaps I did go a little OTT in stating that the JS31s were knackered, I made the post not long after I had recieved the information - probably not a wise idea.
I have absolutely no axe to grind with Eastern, we have a good working relationship with the crews, and I wish them the best of luck for their continued expansion, as do to everyone at Gill in getting back into the industry asap.
